Most fields of society have constructed and utilized various name identifier systems such and International Standard Name Identifier(ISNI), Open Researcher and Contributor ID(ORCID), and Interested Parties Information System(IPI) in order to uniquely identify individual authors and institutions and to associate them to data related to creative works. Although it might be inevitable to apply name identifier systems in the current data environment with rapid association and integration of data across fields, there are many problems to be addressed when utilizing those systems. In order to overcome these problems and construct better information ecological system by associating and linking data from various fields, this research analyzed advanced cases for data integration based on ISNI. Through the analysis, it suggested managemental refinements for efficiently utilizing ISNI in data integration and association.

This study proposed an integrated management system model of researcher identifiers using the ISNI(International Standard Name Identifier) that can prevent duplicate issuance of identifiers and can be used to reorganize the authors' information. We looked at the metadata structure and management system of the ISNI that can be applied in various fields among identifiers. And we have designed the integrated ID system and system model that can manage the identifiers issued by each institute based on the ISNI. This model consists of data structure layer, platform layer, application layer, management and security layer (4 layers) and we have presented some of the key features and issues to consider when managing the integrations.

This study was to investigate the concept of ISNI and to find its availability in authority control, realizing importance of ISNI as the bridge identifier including all the information media content industries. ISNI is needed for global and comprehensive name authority control as the bridge identifier for the identification of public identities of parties involved throughout the information media content industries in the creation, production, management and content distribution chains. First of all, it was to inquire ISNI concept, goal, terms and definitions, structure and syntax, allocation of ISNI, administration of the ISNI system, and metadata. Next, it was to suggest the applicability of ISNI in authority control. First, it should be needed to consider in applying ISNI for cooperative authority control. It is possible to interactively use the authority data created in library and other information industries area by constructing KISNI system. Second, it is possible to construct linked data by linking various identifier through ISNI identifier as bridge identifier. Third, it is needed to develop KORMARC for describing ISNI identifier in KORMARC bibliographic and authority record.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of the organizations in the fields of academics, arts, humanities, and music in Korea on the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) which is developed by International Standard Organization (ISO) for assuring the public identities of creators, contributors, and producers to contents in the fields. National Library of Korea (NLK), one of the official registration agencies of ISNI in Korea, launched a consortium, ISNI-Korea, with various organizations in the fields to promote the ISNI registration and application. In this study, focused group interviews were carried out with participants from a total of 13 organizations; these organizations were divided into three groups by the progress on collaboration with NLK at the ISNI-Korea consortium. The current status of the personnel or membership information management by organizations, their expectations and barriers for using ISNI, and the ISNI application to the fields have been discussed intensively during the interviews. Findings from this study could benefit NLK to develop the strategies to promote ISNI in the fields. This study also proposed follow-up studies to enhance the use of ISNI in Korea.

As ISNI spreads, the process and utilization method of authority control that identifies and links individual or group names is also expanding. In this study, the characteristics of the connection and utilization of ISNI and national authorities in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany were derived, and a plan to improve the connection and utilization of national authorities and ISNI was presented, focusing on the National Library of Korea. Focusing on major countries actively participating in the establishment and utilization of ISNI since its founding, national authorities and ISNI linkage methods and ISNI data used in services were analyzed. The implications of this study for the linkage and convergence of national authority and ISNI data were: first, applying ISNI to support authority work, second, establishing a close cooperation system with the publishing community, and third, establishing infrastructure for linking ISNI and authority records at the national level, and finally, providing user service pages based on authority data.

ISNI is a relay identifier that can integrate universal archival data and has the advantage of being flexibly applied to various fields compared to ORCID, which is limited to academic researchers, but in Korea, it is overwhelmingly issued to researchers and educators, and its purpose is gradually fading. In particular, overseas, ISNI issuance is active with the active participation of the publishing industry, but in Korea, there is no issuance through the publishing industry. This study was designed to expand the issuance of ISNIs to various fields including the Korean publishing industry. In order to achieve the research objectives, in-depth interviews were conducted with representatives of the existing ISNI-KOREA consortium organizations and potential consortium expansion organizations such as the publishing industry. As a result of the interviews, four policy implications were drawn as a way to revitalize ISNI: reorganizing its own system, strengthening governance, promotion and education, and system linkage. To address these policy implications, we proposed a mid- to long-term development plan centered on four policy goals and 12 key tasks. This study is expected to help the National Library of Korea, which operates the ISNI-KOREA consortium, develop policies related to ISNI activation.

In foreign countries, ISNI-based creative work identification and linkage services have been established and operated in various fields, while in Korea, ISNI utilization and linkage services limited to some fields are operated mainly by the National Library of Korea. The purpose of this study is to propose an ISNI-based linkage and utilization service that can be applied in Korea. To achieve the purpose of this study, we examined overseas ISNI linkage cases and identified the requirements of related organizations. We also proposed four ways to build ISNI sharing and convergence services. These include establishing Identifiers Co-operation Initiatives (ICI), establishing creator profiles, activating ISNI through the publishing industry, and activating ISNI services through external linkages. We hope that this study will serve as a basis for building ISNI-based linkage and utilization services.

In the modern academic research environment, the advancement of digital technology provides researchers with increasingly diverse and rich access to information, but at the same time, the issue of author identification has emerged as a new challenge. The problem of author identification is a major factor that undermines the transparency and accuracy of academic communication, potentially causing confusion in the accurate attribution of research results and the construction of research networks. In response, identifier systems such as the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) and Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) have been introduced, but still face limitations due to low participation by authors and inaccurate entry of information. This study focuses on researching information management methods for identification from the moment author information is first entered into the system, proposing ways to improve the accuracy of author identification and maximize the efficiency of academic information services. Through this, it aims to renew awareness of the issue of author identification within the academic community and present concrete measures that related institutions and researchers can take to solve this problem.

This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the current status of the national authority data construction project centered on the National Library of Korea for the effective construction and utilization of national knowledge information resources. It also aimed to reveal the possibility and improvement of the national information system with the international standard identification system, and suggesting future development plans. To this end, this study conducted interviews and questionnaires with members of the Korean National Authority Data Sharing System(KNASS). The survey consisted of items related to the current status and difficulties related to the authority, the use of the KNASS, the recognition and utilization of identifiers, the awareness and utilization of the linkage with ISNI, the Importance-Performance Analysis for activating the KNASS, and the overall satisfaction and improvement direction. As a result of the analysis, it was proposed to develop rules and guidelines related to the authority works, to increase the quantity and quality of authority data, to raise understanding of the importance and establish a efficient work system, to diversify the authority service and develop a utilization model, to link the KNASS with international identifiers, and to share the necessity of the KNASS.

This study analyzed the methods for representing and linking personal information in the linked data of National Library of Korea and provided suggestions for expanding the scope of identifying and linking of the personal information. As a result, the personal information as a subject has been dealt with a concept, where the personal information as a contributor has been linked with a vocabulary of personal name. In addition, there have not been assured of including additional information except existing authority data in the process of building the linked data. Therefore, this study suggested that linking personal information as a subject and personal information as a contributor was essential for the quality of linked data. In addition, we proposed to provide additional information related to the person in linked data for expanding the scope of access points in information discovery.
